This is the approach I'm already following. I've defined both an inbound and an outbound filter which save the messages into local folders. It works, but the idea that I have to duplicate all of my messages is a bit annoying. The problem seems quite general to me and I cannot believe that there is not a built-in procedure to accomplish this (something like a configurable warning before the synchronization process deletes locally stored messages).
